DELPHI MAN KILLS HIMSELF.

Chicago, August 11.—Edward C. Newman, a cigarmaker of Delphi, Ind., is dead as the result of a fall from the second floor of University Hospital last night, where he was being treated for a nervous disorder that caused temporary insanity. In a fit of delirium the man tried to jump down the elevator shaft, but was caught by a nurse. He freed himself and ran to the side of the building, where he plunged through a plate glass window, cutting himself terribly, and jumped to the pavement below. He was dead when picked up.
